Pusha T: "Big Daddy Kane is better than Rakim"

[FreshAIG]

Forbez DVD Video: Pusha T Says Big Daddy Kane Is Better Than Rakim

Do you agree?

 

[mortuus est]

I agree.



Always liked BDK more for some reason

 

[The Blind Man]

For me its impossible to qualify that type of statement, shyts just preference, the main dudes from that time, Cool J, G Rap, BDK and Rakim was all complete emcees...

who was best...

too subjective for me....

Peace.

Do you agree?

lyrically rakim would murk kane only thing kane had was punchlines that is it

but rakim had the complex rhyme patterns metaphors wordplay etc



Massage 'n' melodies
Might go right through
Simultaneously like an Uzi
Nothin' can bruise me
Lyrics let up when lady say don't lose me
So re-load quickly
And you better hit me
While I'm lettin' this fifi get wit me
You steppin' with .007
Better make it snappy
No time to do your hair, baby
Brothers are bustin' at me
Beats and bullets pass me
None on target
They want the R hit
But watch the god get
Quicker, the tongue is the trigger
'Cause I'm real fast
Let off some rhythm at 'em
Let 'em feel the blast
Penetrate at a crazy rate
This ain't no .38
Hit 'em at point blank range
And watch 'em radiate
Runnin' out of ammunition
I'm done wit' em
You ask me how I did 'em
I let the rhythm hit 'em

 

[notorious8562]

I listen to BDK more than Rakim.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

No. They're both mostly about the bragadocious stuff, but Rakim's flow is more refined and advanced and incorporates more abstract thought. Lyrics on songs like No Omega, Follow the Leader, and Lyrics of Fury > Raw and Set It Off.

KOOL G RAP >>> both

I'm the arsenal
I got artillery, lyrics of ammo
Rounds of rhythm
Then I'm 'a give 'em piano
Bring a bullet-proof vest
Nothin' to ricochet
ready to aim at the brain
~Now what the trigger say
Tempos triflin'
Felt like a rifle
Massage 'n' melodies
Might go right through
Simultaneously like an Uzi
Nothin' can bruise me
Lyrics let up when lady say don't lose me
So re-load quickly
And you better hit me
While I'm lettin' this fifi get wit me

BDK doesn't have ill wordplay, incredible flow, crossover success, unique song concepts/choices/subject matter

Peace.

I agree..

but its also good hip hop debate.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Rakim was better because he wasnt as demonic as Big Daddy Kane lyrically.

People wanted to emulate the technical abilities of Rakim.

People wanted to emulate the lifestyle of BDK.

 

[Change]

nope. Ra is the GOAT.

 

[HollywoodP]

I agree...I love Rakims group and solo work but sometimes he would be pretty repetitive when he was rapping bout rhymes and flows and rhythms and melody's and microphones and studios and stereos and crowds and beats and lyrics etc.

KOOL G RAP >>> both

eh...

 

[Listen]

When BDK was on his Teddy Riley steeze he had some punchline clunkers that still made me laugh...like that track 'no damn good'.

...."stop takin imputs and close your legs toots
cuz I remember you was one of a kind and fiiiiiiiiiine, MM!
I once was infatuated by the things that you do.....but now your doo doo
its all about respecting yourself, in order to gain respect from anyone else
so treat yourself like a real woman should because bytch, you aint no damn good"

hahahahahah
